Sterope:
The fact that you and those dead and buried people concocted. Any mother that cannot comfortably curse that first son is no mother.

You see that business is your father's NOT yours. That business belongs to all his children. Every child is equal. Nothing makes you superior to that baby. Congratulations to you for having a relationship with your father but it doesn't change the truth about the equality of all children.

I am the first child and a daughter. I have got lots of brothers. My first brother would never utter such despicable facts. I also have a baby brother. When we think investing as siblings, we include him even though he isn't contributing a penny. We are not even talking about our parents' properties.

it might be truth considering that the deceased was also against their mother.

The fact is that u reason that way because u are a daughter not a son. As a first son, I carry along all my younger ones in every social aspect of Life. Yes, the business is for my father and they av no right or whatsoever to talk to me that we have the same say on family matters, Am a first born for a reason. Imagine my siblings am giving stipend and sending errands will now wake up one day and be telling me rubbish anyway I don't give room for nonchalant attitude from them. I maintain my lane and the respect is there coz I act accordingly as a leader of the house. If actually u are son and u av everything at ur disposal u will understand wat I mean. When that ur younger brother reach some certain age u will understand better. No matter ur proximity to ur father as first child, u can never compare that relationship to first son, it's nothing but undisputable fact.

I blamed the Igbo inheritance sharing culture for this

Imagine when the first born is entitled to lion share of inheritance or females are not consider human enough to enjoy their fathers labour





Very good one from your grandfather

I have a friend who usually says Lagos is too tough he will go back to the village and collect all his late father farms, houses and sell them to help himself,. I ask about his siblings he said they were not his business nor problem

He claimed he's the first born hence the rightful owner of everything, this is someone whose father last born is still in secondary school yet unwilling to give her anything because she is a female that don't deserve inheritance

Can I blame his siblings of same father same mother if they poison him? Of cause I can't

The Igbo need to really come together and do things right, if not most family better be ready for the death of their first born

Sterope:
You missed the part where I mentioned a brother. He doesn't speak about his brothers the way you do. It seems like you have really nice siblings. Can't be me or my younger siblings!

Asa nwa, how you dey??

fool, these ones are Even better they fought their self physically, if it was Muslim afonja family they would have used juju to finish themselves.

Babinski:


The best thing to do is to take legal action instead of taking the law into your hands. We have seen court judgements that cancelled the Igbo inheritance culture and gave inheritance rights to female children and the court judgement had to be enforced because it is from the Supreme Court. That already is excellent precedent. No need to go and kill anyone because of inheritance issue.

anigbajumo:


Your first paragraph is pure nonsense, Am a Yoruba man not igbonman and am currently in control of my father's business of which am very much active in it. My father just married a lady from Imo state and she just gave birth to a son, imagine me that's hustling up and down day and night to make the business sustain that he can acquire property will share the same with the son that knows how he acquired the said property. Am hustler infact I will be on my own in a short time and I will av made it millions by God's grace before my father reach old age but the fact is that the new born baby of One year has little say in my fathers property infact his mother can't put mouth for where I dey talk not to even talk of his son. When the first son dey hustle and map out strategy to secured their fathers wealth nobody was there only for last born to come out and say the property belongs to all of us and share it equal is totally rubbish. Mind u, I never plan to share in my father's property coz I would av acquired mine by God's grace in coming yrs.

wonder233:
Poverty story: you're 24, with 2kids and still pregnant, your husband is just 29 already littering the whole place with kids. As is typical of your people, you're a full time housewife meaning you don't mind do anything, you're unemployed afterall, "it is the man's work to face life alone and come feed you and the kids". The man foolishly also believes this - thats why you're Africans, that's why you're Nigerians, that's why you're ibos. "Its your tradition". That's why you drag for property and inheritance, that's why you live in a family commune, that's why you and his sister got into a fight.
Its all traditions and customs

descarado:

Oh shut up! Non African or Nigerian.
Very annoying.
Face your front.
You non igbo that don't drag property with anybody.

There is no place in the world people don't fight over property. Written wills are constantly contended not to talk of unwritten ones.
The richer the deceased, the dirtier the fight. Abiola come to mind in Nigeria.

MummyD2020:


If u at3e a guy, then i must say u are one in a million. I cant still fathom that age long segregation of not giving the female child anything. I tell hubby, that one ehh no go happen for this marriage. I love my boy to the moon but 'ihuru' will, every inch goes to each child equally. Its just myopic and to think that majority of the first sons now rely on it and patiently wait for it. Many female child are even the ones that work more with the parents but unfortunately, get nothing

dederocs:

Your fathers are fools, that is why they are allowing a small boy Kanu, destroy your homeland. Bastard, go and kill your brother for money, idiot people.

brown3:
your entire village are animals that why Yoruba village are littered with bastards. 97% of afonja Muslims are bastards.

anigbajumo:


Not that I av a nice siblings, they are young and am playing my roles wisely. No matter how rich ur father is, he can't foot all ur bills. I give them money when they need and provide needed support, non of my younger ones will ask me of money and I will decline, I put myself in position of respect and there's no way they can ridicule me or av loggerhead with me. I care less about my father's other wives except my mum but I carry along all my siblings from different mothers even those that are in boarding schools. When you are in position of a leader, u av no reason to shy away from ur responsibilities.

Sterope:
It doesn't entitle you their father's property. You aren't the only one cursed with the luck of being a first child or first som. You could have come as one of those mythical children and prevent your parents from having more kids. It is their inheritance as much as it is yours. You should have equal claim to it.

Sterope:
What are the other reasons?

kense88:
story, why the man no born only him first son ? So he birth others to start suffering abi ? Am the first son of the family. I shared our property equally with my brother. I actually wish i had the financial capacity to give everything to him. You lead by example ok.

anigbajumo:


Go back to my comment and read it again, I made a sacrifice for them to see the property today and it's wat I give them that belong to than not that we av equal right. It's totally absurd to say our lastborn and the first born has equal right, that's totally absurd and am sure no parent will ever say or consider that. That's just the fact nothing much, their mother can't even stand in my present to say wat u wrote in your last paragraph.

jagorinho:

Squander!!! I love that word, just make sure you know when you will die at old age , so you won't still be alive after " The Squander "...... na hunger go be your class teacher.

EndBuhariNow:
other reasons are confidential

Sterope:
Your sacrifice doesn't entitle you still. You ran the business because you could, the business still remains your father's. If your sacrifice included pumping your personal money into the business and other considerations besides being the first son, maybe I would understand.

Me I can't imagine running my father's business as the first child-son so that I could be entitled to a larger share of it which I am sure you get paid for. It can't be me and it can't be something I will allow. I can't be your dad's new wife either.

Mayeldah:
Hustle O! make them no kpai you on top family land wey no fit change your life.

Poverty na bastard.

Sterope:
Based on that one reason that is not confidential, it sounds like you are not confident in your parenting.
